Chuck Berry, Pt. 1 – 1955-56
Chuck Berry has been called the “Father of Rock n’ Roll” and with good reason. He took the blues of T-Bone Walker and B.B. King, the guitar riffs of Carl Hogan and mixed it with the fiddle and Western Swing music of Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys. Then he rolled it all into one big sonic blast. Rhythm & Blues become Rock n’ Roll when...June 7, 2026RASUncategorized1950s, blues, Chess Records, Jump Blues, R&B, Rhythm & Blues, Rock n' Roll, Uncategorized0 Comments

Industrial-grade vision inspection, made accessible by the Arduino® UNO™ Q board
RAS2026-05-28T14:46:51+00:00Factory lighting can be brutal. A label looks perfect from one angle and unreadable from another. A reflective pouch catches glare. A conveyor casts shadows. A package edge disappears under mixed LED lighting. Traditional industrial vision systems solve these very real problems, and that’s why they became expensive. However, many inspection tasks don’t require a closed, high-cost smart camera. They just need a reliable prototype path: collect images, train a model, deploy locally, trigger an action, and improve. On...
